We divide 144688 by 47
We want to divide 144688 by 47.

Step 1:
1 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 14 / 47

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 14 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 14.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 14, we get 14.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 144 / 47

On to step 3:
When dividing 144 by 47, we get 3 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 141 from 144, we get 3.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 36 / 47

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 36 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 36.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 30.0
If we take 0 away from 36, we end up with 36.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 368 / 47

Step 5:
When dividing 368 by 47, we get 7 with a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 307.0
Deduct 329 from 368 and we're left with 39.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 398 / 47

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 398 by 47, we get 8 and a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3078.0
If we subtract 376 from 398, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 220 by 47, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3078.4
If we subtract 188 from 220, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 320 by 47, we get 6 and a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3078.46
If we subtract 282 from 320, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
380 divided by 47 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3078.468
If we take 376 away from 380, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 40 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3078.468
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
47 can be fit into 400 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3078.46808
If we subtract 376 from 400, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 240 by 47, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3078.468085
Deduct 235 from 240 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 47 fits into 50 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3078.4680851
Subtract 47 from 50 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
47 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3078.4680851
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3078.4680851 with a balance of 3e-08.
